IBM and Microsoft announced Imagine Enterprise, a platform available through IBM Consulting for building, running and governing AI agents that execute industry-specific business processes. The companies say it combines more than 6,000 prebuilt AI agents and assets from IBM Consulting with Microsoft's AI, data, cloud and security technologies.

Initial industry frameworks cover financial services, insurance and retail. Customers can engage IBM Consulting to deploy and operate the platform or jointly develop enterprise implementations; self-management options are also available. The platform connects agents to existing enterprise data and systems, with identity, security and governance controls. Engineering support from both companies is limited to qualifying engagements.
